It's funny this reminded me of something. My rental copy of this game had the robot named Saban and I just always called Robo that.

Reading people's conspiracy theories about how much I do/don't remember is quickly becoming my favorite thing about this whole experience. You guys give my memory way too much credit.

It's really annoying (to me) how they try to pick apart any bit of dialogue in what is a 16-year old Super Nintendo RPG.

"Wha...wait hey! How do they KNOOOOOW that that thing is called Lavos?! They are jumping to conclusions!"

Do you really expect lengthy additional dialogue scenes where they discuss the entirety of their thoughts? It's a SNES RPG, not a PSX RPG.

Of course, they're probably saying stuff like that to try to be funny.

It is possible to be coherent and explain everything without having extensive dialogue though. Plus, they might not know about the unfortunate translation that this game got which is why the game reads the way it does. Even so, they're just poking fun.

It was called Lavos on the computer, so the characters called it Lavos. That is a coherent enough explanation, and doesn't need to be picked apart by Ryan and Patrick.

I always liked Johnny "The Man" and all his theme music. I'm a little bummed by the DS version that makes all the robots call him "bro" instead of "The Man".

Oh, and the factory music is so good. It's one of my favorite tunes in the game.

I think the audio isn't quite synced. I noticed something the last run but I definitely saw it in this run, they're stating the dialogue a few seconds before it shows on screen for us.

Other than that, loving the ER!

Ryan and Patrick, your sense of humor is wearing on me sometimes. Please appreciate the game for what it is and stop trying to make sense and evaluate every small decision the designers make - whether it fits into your thought processes rationally.

Its already kind of bad that Patrick knows the whole story beforehand and therefore mentions what will happen at random times. Ie. in Episode 5, he states that they are in the future before any npcs are seen or the time period is confirmed.

It seems like you guys are casting the game in a bad light with all the sarcasm and second guessing the game designers' decisions, but it was epic for the time it was released and a lot of people won't appreciate your sense of humor.

Screw people who dont appreciate their sense of humour.

I am not seeing any of the things you mention in your post. I was originally worried about this ER but I am thoroughly enjoying it now.

You know, except for the part where it's totally fucking obvious that they're in the goddamned future, you might have a point.

As far as the "criticism" goes, they're jokes, from people who make at least part of their living by being funny about video games. You may not appreciate their jokes, but that doesn't mean they should stop making them. I'm currently playing through the game for the first time, ahead of the Endurance Run by a few hours now, and I've thought the game was fantastic as I've been playing it, and I still find their commentary fun.

Guys, guys. For this endurance run it's Bryan and Bratrick, ok?

If you are going that route it needs to be Byan and Batrick, they have only ever changed the first letter into a B on every character.

Love the fact the names all work so far hope it will for any future members.

@Slate:

They get a ship later called "Epoch." That's the only thing I could see not working (though I haven't made it all the way through the game yet).
Although, B-Poch kinda sounds like a rapper. It's like 2 Pac, but with a variable instead of a number; fits with the science thing, I guess.
